TFA32C09DBER

Overview

The Ohmite TFA32C09DBER is a fixed thin film RF attenuator designed for surface mount applications in the 1206 package. It provides a nominal attenuation of 9 dB with a maximum operating frequency of 20 GHz and a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device supports one channel, maintains a maximum VSWR of 1.5, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes thin film technology for stable performance across wide frequency ranges
• Engineered for high-frequency signal control up to 20 GHz
• Designed for reliable operation in demanding thermal environments

Applications

• RF signal path management in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise attenuation
• Microwave circuit design for signal level adjustment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Ohmite distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status and datasheet revisions prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions align with manufacturer guidelines to preserve thin film integrity and solderability during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 9 dB fixed attenuation value is required in a 1206 footprint. Consider the 20 GHz frequency limit and 50 Ohm impedance match for system compatibility. Evaluate thermal requirements against the specified operating temperature range for the target application environment.
